This play is truly comic. The humour is irresistible; and
pleases in the closet as well as in the theatre. Dr.
Goldsmith has been happy in the choice of his characters;
they are supported throughout with great propriety; and the
incidents that appear improbable are, in general, the
natural effects of the thoughtless sallies of a young
frolicksome country squire. [Gent. Magazine]
